Bruce Arena wants to play Pulisic in the middle: "We’re going to see his comfort level when he gets into camp and talk to him a little bit. Until recently, he was playing out wide [for Dortmund] and at times playing in a real two-way role, so he had a lot of defensive responsibilities. He's demonstrated at a young age that he’s capable of getting the job done in a lot of positions. With our team, at the moment I'm on a computer doing that with the options of him playing at both spots and organizing our team accordingly." Can we talk about what Arena is doing on the computer? Is it some sort of simulation program? Or FIFA Manager?

Also, the kid scored again:
